Summary: GNATclean removes system ALI files in 3.4.0-20040501 candida

Initial Comment:
Gnatclean.exe is a new command in gcc 3.4.0 which is 
supposed to remove any objects and ali files that a 
gnatmake target depends on.  In the MinGW candidate it 
also deleted the ALI files from the system library.  e.g. lib/
gcc/mingw32/3.4.0/adalib/  I executed the commands 
under an msys shell.

Clearly the gnatclean command does not know what files 
are part of the standard library.  Maybe it always tries to 
delete any dependencies and is stopped by read-only status 
on unix systems?

OS:  Win2k SP4
gcc: 3.4.0 (mingw special)
ld:  2.15.90 20040222
mingw:  Initially 3.10 installer upgraded with 3.3 runtime
MSYS: 1.0.10 (0.46/3/2)

I think your guess about file attributes is right.  When I do a 
make install the permissions are set correctly, and gnatclean 
works as expected   But they were lost when I built the 
tarball for distro.
